well I just ordered a couple.
A mintage of 5,000 was appealing ... though I don't think it's a good investment. What members of the aboriginal community will be able to pay overs for this in years to come?
Great to see Mr Mabo being given such wonderful recognition
The Royal Australian Mint has produced 5000 mint rolls.

For Who, The general public or the dealers?
Would imagine Dealers, I don't see them on the RAMint site but they are on dealers sites. Just guessing.

You can buy a sachet containing 20 coins for $10 (Face Value) from the Mint eShop. Maximum 3 sachets per order.

I like a business strike one, in a card without the bag marks but it looks like the only way you can get it is by buying a silver proof. :(
I have no idea why I bought these.
Its a sickness. I must be stopped.

If you don't know the we don't know either.
Why not try changing your forum signature? It is either a symptom of your sickness or, possibly, the cause. :blink:

It's a worthy theme.
I got three of the baggies myself, plus 3 $1 and $2 mint bags. :)

Agree with that I don't want the silver proof but want the carded version, disappointed with RAM on this :dodgy:
